About

Menbaka pairs Japanese ramen with a dramatic tableside fire presentation, and its separate veggie menu includes fire ramen, gyoza, soy-meat karaage and veggie sushi. The portions are generous and staff can help film the flame safely, but reviews say prices run above a standard ramen shop and reservations are wise when busy.
